Adjustment of status continues to be a critical but complicated area of
immigration law practice. Portability, elibility for work authorization and
travel, concurrent processing, weighing adjustment of status versus
consular processing, etc. present many issues that must be thought through
in formulating the best strategy in a specific case. ILW.COM's new seminar
"Unraveling The Mysteries In Adjustment Of Status" will focus on this important area of immigration law. The deadline to register is Thursday, October 28th. For more info, detailed curriculum, speaker bios, and registration information, see: http://www.ilw.com/seminars/october2004.shtm. (Fax version: http://www.ilw.com/seminars/october2004.pdf.)

Dear Editor:Chicken's concern was not two "separate" jobs, however, with potentially adverse sides, in employment, what harm can there be in simply "double checking" with the Rules? If there is no issue, then, there is no issue.

Dear Editor:
I disagree with the Economics 101 comment. First, higher-skilled workers come to work in the US in far lower numbers than unskilled workers and, as a result,
the spillover effect on the lower skilled market should be negligible. Also, they are already educated
at no cost for the government. Second, they command higher wages and are more sophisticated consumers
creating, in this way, more openings for low-wage service jobs as a secondary effect. Finally, they make
contributions in terms of innovative ideas and increased efficiency. These changes lead to productivity gains that, in turn, generate high quality job openings. In sum, I believe that common sense economics show that highly educated individuals are net contributors to the US economy and the welfare of its entire society.
